"It was just about three years ago that I took a nasty spill on my bike and I walked away with a broken collarbone and two broken ribs.  A year later, I broke my hand which required surgery.  Both of these events took me away from the gym for an extended period of time and I had a difficult time finding the motivation to get back until summer 2010.

I began working out with Steve, my personal trainer, at the beginning of the year.  At first it was two 30 minute sessions per week, then two 45 minute sessions and now we’re meeting three times per week for an hour each.  I’ve lost 22 lbs. and I’m still working to lose a little more.  I was hoping Steve would get me back on track and then I could continue on my own once I had a set workout routine. The problem is, nothing is routine with Steve and I don’t think I could ever do the same workout routine repeatedly.

I’ve also been spinning quite a lot since February 2011 when the Tour de Cure training rides started.  It started with those classes on Saturday and then I decided to try other spinning classes during the week. Your cycling program is excellent and the instructors have me hooked on spinning. I’m also taking Psyclewrx 2.0 class on Sundays.

There used to be a day when I would send you a letter complaining of the summer hours every spring because my workout hours were later in the evening.  Now, I make sure I leave the office 3 days a week by 5:15 pm so I can make it to spinning class.  I’ve completely re-prioritized my schedule so that Midtown doesn’t take a second seat to anything.  It’s become that important to me.  My wife thinks I’m nuts but she likes the results.  I like the results too and I love what Midtown has become."
